Biochem/physiol Actions

N-Octanoyl-L-homoserine lactone is a member of N-acyl-homoserine lactone family. N-Acylhomoserine lactones (AHL) regulate gene expression in gram-negative bacteria, such as Echerichia and Salmonella, and are involved in quorum sensing, colonization, chemical defense and cell to cell communication among bacteria; for reviews see. AHLs are released as oligopeptides in Gram positive bacteria and as quorum signal in Gram negative bacteria. Bacterial intercellular communication has become a target for the development of new anti-virulence drugs, and a research focus for the prevention of biofilm formation.

Population density-dependent expression of luminescence in Vibrio fischeri is controlled by the autoinducer N-3-oxohexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (autoinducer 1 [AI-1]), which via LuxR activates transcription of the lux operon (luxICDABEG, encoding the putative autoinducer synthase [LuxI] and the luminescence enzymes). We recently

We demonstrate the synthesis and immobilization of natural product hybrids featuring an acyl-homoserine lactone and a nitrodopamine onto biocompatible TiO(2) surfaces through an operationally simple dip-and-rinse procedure. The resulting immobilized hybrids were shown to be powerful quorum sensing (QS) activators

Bacterial communities undergo collective behavioural switches upon producing and sensing diffusible signal molecules; a mechanism referred to as Quorum Sensing (QS). Exemplarily, biofilm organic matrices are built concertedly by bacteria in several environments. QS scope in bacterial ecology has been

In order to perform single-cell analysis and online studies of N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL)-mediated communication among bacteria, components of the Vibrio fischeri quorum sensor encoded by luxR-P(luxI) have been fused to modified versions of gfpmut3* genes encoding unstable green fluorescent
